Least common factor is not a mathematical term because 1 is the least, or lowest, factor of any whole number and is common to all numbers.
The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) is the largest factor common to two or more numbers. For example, 17 is the GCF of 34, 51, and 102 because it is the largest number that is a factor common to all three numbers.
